Projekt: „First aid for the flooring of DRK Leichlingen”

„The athmosphere is really inviting and the floor is practical as well.”

First aid for the flooring of DRK Leichlingen

Who: German Red Cross (DRK)

Where: Leichlingen

What:

Redesign of the training facilities in the Red Cross building in Leichlingen

With what:

Laminate Classic 1050. Larch Antique 2-strip

Unterlay Duo Protect

Mouth-to-mouth, CPR, resuscitation: The old flooring in the Red Cross building in Leichlingen has been through a lot. The rooms in the building, which has been in use by the German Red Cross since 1902, see heavy traffic by emergency services, Youth Red Cross, training courses, and senior citizen groups, as well as the administration, and must be renovated regularly. The old and defective flooring was hard to clean and was a bother, especially during first aid.

The room acoustics have improved significantly thanks to the new, high-quality flooring. It is much easier to clean, and the rooms are overall much more inviting than they used to be. Here, it’s often a matter of life and death. So it’s very important that everyone feels comfortable.

The old flooring was heavily used and had to be renovated regularly.

It was wavy and difficult to clean.

What was missing was a floor that offered excellent durability and great protection from edge swelling with a swell-protected core board with all-round edge impregnation.

The room acoustics also improved significantly: Less impact noise and acoustic reflection.

The rooms are being used by various groups and also serve as storage space. Something is always being renovated or installed. The new flooring with easy-to-clean surface makes everyday life much easier.
